Saranya Investing Scam Warning: Fake Tax and Loan Demands

Savun Law & Consultancy · Updated 28 October 2026

Saranya Investing (saranyainvesting.pro), which presents itself as a forex company operating in England, is in the spotlight because of reports that it takes investors' money. The scheme was listed on forex warning channels in March 2026, and in June 2026 the same name was reported again under the spelling "SARNYA İNVESTİNG".

In short: Saranya Investing is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). Its method rests on repeated deposits guided by a "financial adviser", fake high profits shown on screen, and, at the withdrawal stage, demands for extra payments described as "overseas tax", "loan" or "insurance". Claiming the money paid back is legally possible.

🚨 Saranya Investing's Methods

User reports show that the scheme uses the following methods together:

Easy deposits, impossible withdrawals: Paying in is very easy; the investor is steered towards depositing more and more with excuses such as "for the transaction" or "so as not to miss the opportunity". Withdrawal requests are rejected or suspended.
Fake high profits: Unrealistically high profits are shown on accounts within a very short time; these profits are the ground for further deposits and the traps that follow.
Fake "tax" and extra fees: Those who want to withdraw their profit are asked for an "overseas tax" or a tax at a stated percentage. Deducting this amount from the balance is not accepted; it must be paid in separately, and non-payment is met with threats of penalties or an account freeze.
Account suspension: When a withdrawal is requested, or when the extra payment is not made, the account is suspended; payment is demanded again to reopen it.
"Loan" and "insurance" excuses: The investor is told that they have unknowingly "taken a loan" from the firm and that no withdrawal can be made until this "loan" is paid.
Unreachable advisers: After the money is received, the people presented as "financial advisers" stop answering calls and messages.

What these methods have in common is that each stage justifies the next payment. Once the "tax" is paid, a "loan debt" comes up; once that is paid, "insurance"; the withdrawal never takes place at any stage. The "you took a loan" story is especially striking: the investor is made to feel indebted to the firm in order to withdraw their own money, and the responsibility is shifted to the victim.

The phone numbers with the +44 area code used by the scheme give an impression of a link to England; however, these numbers are virtual lines that can be obtained easily over the internet and do not mean a company registration or a licence.

🔍 "SARNYA İNVESTİNG": The Same Scheme Under a New Spelling

In the reports made in June 2026, the scheme's name appears as "SARNYA İNVESTİNG", with one letter missing and in Turkish capital letters. Such spelling differences have two possible meanings:

Verbal relay: The name the "adviser" says on the phone is written down as the victim heard it; this shows that the scheme works mainly over the phone and messaging.
Escaping search results: Operating with new names and domains with similar spellings makes it harder for warnings about the old name to reach the investor.

In either case, offers that come under the name Saranya Investing, Sarnya Investing or a similar spelling should be seen as a continuation of the same scheme.

🗓️ Timeline

May 2025: First reports, with the address saranyainvesting.pro and the presentation as an "England-based forex company".
March 2026: The scheme is listed again on forex warning channels.
June 2026: New reports under the spelling "SARNYA İNVESTİNG".

This period of more than a year shows that the scheme is not a one-off campaign but an operation that has kept looking for new investors for a long time with the same story.

⚖️ Is It Legal in Türkiye? The SPK Position

Even if Saranya Investing claims to operate in England, it holds no permission granted by the Capital Markets Board in Türkiye. Offering forex or investment advisory services to people resident in Türkiye is open only to institutions authorised by the SPK; a claim of being based abroad does not remove this requirement. By its Decision No. 8/297 of 24.02.2017, the Capital Markets Board stated that bringing parties together for leveraged transactions with overseas schemes would be treated as unauthorised activity. Taking extra payments through a fake tax and loan story is assessed under the qualified fraud provisions of the Turkish Penal Code.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

Showing profits and asking for new money as tax, commission or fees at the withdrawal stage is not specific to one case. We have covered other platforms where the same story appears:

🧭 The Legal Process for Victims

In schemes of this kind, the process a victim goes through generally consists of the following steps:

Working out the path the victim follows and bringing the evidence together.
A criminal complaint is filed with receipts, correspondence and phone records.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Are Saranya Investing and SARNYA İNVESTİNG the same scheme?

Yes. The "SARNYA İNVESTİNG" in the June 2026 reports is the same scheme written with one letter missing and in Turkish capital letters.

I was asked for an overseas tax to withdraw my profit; can this amount not be deducted from the balance?

At a genuine brokerage firm, tax is deducted from the amount payable under the regulations, and no money is asked to be paid in from outside. Rejecting the deduction and asking for a new payment is part of the withdrawal-blocking story.

The adviser says "you took a loan"; do I owe the firm?

A debt claim for a "loan" that you did not request and did not sign is a script aimed at taking extra payments. Correspondence containing this claim is normally kept as evidence in such cases.

I was called from a number starting with +44; is the firm really British?

No, a number proves nothing on its own. Virtual lines can be obtained easily over the internet; whether a company is real is established through official registry and licence records.
